The initial goals of the NetBeans contribution under the Apache umbrella are to establish a new home for an already fully functioning project and to open up the governance model so as to simplify and streamline contributions from the community.

Required Resources

Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are the required resources for Apache NetBeans:

Done. More can be created as needed, though let's start with the Apache defaults. Also, we need to investigate migrating the archives of the existing NetBeans mailing lists, e.g., nbusers@netbeans.org.

Migration of website and related content management system to Apache infrastructure

SIR05

Evaluation and identification of other NetBeans infrastructure to be migrated to Apache infastructures

Further Resources

Not explicitly mentioned in the NetBeans Proposal, though referenced in SIR05 above, these resources and areas need to be considered too in the context of the transition. In many cases, there will be no impact, though at least "NetBeans" should be "Apache NetBeans", at least in first mention, where applicable. in the naming of the below.

Tasks

Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are tasks that need to be completed during incubation. (Currently in no particular order.)

Add automatic footer to mails to NetBeans mailing lists with new info.

T05

Migration of source code.

T06

Migration of Wiki (or start from scratch?)

T07

Migration of tutorials.

T08

Migration of bug tracker.

T09

Create a structure for the Wiki.

T10

Find a home for the Plugin Portal and plugins.

Several organizations have indicated an interest in taking this on. Another option is Maven via Sonatype. Next steps: bundle up plugins and the app and send it to one or more interested organizations with instructions for setting everything up and find out how/if it works and choose the best location.

T11

Create a page on Wiki or website listing all the committers, contributors, supporting organizations, etc.

T12

Mailing list archive migration.

NetBeans.org mailing lists, e.g., nbusers@netbeans.org, have large archives that need to be considered for migration.
